Twitter is a microblog, or a status updating social networking site in which you make friends and follow people, or get followed by people. And when your network grows bigger you can have your voice heard by many people in your friends networks too...
You blog or tweet with messages of no more than 140 characters. Things to be tweeted (= sending out a twit or tweet (message) on twitter) can be
what you are thinking or doing right now
a new post on your blog that you wrote
a ReTweet (RT) from someone else, think of it as a forward in email
The @ sign basically is a direction, and is always followed by a username, for instance @icantinternet . By doing this, the tweet is addressed to this person. It can also be used as a reply. Beware, it is not the same as a DM, since @messages can be read by anyone else, and DM's cannot.
